Title: The Death of Stalin
Directed by: Armando Iannucci
Screenplay by: Armando Iannucci, David Schneider, Ian Martin and Peter Fellows
Very enjoyable, blackly funny political satire about the struggle for power in Soviet Russia after the death of Stalin. Great performances by both Steve Buscemi as Nikita Khrushchev and Michael Palin as Foreign Minister Molotov, but Jason Isaacs absolutely steals the movie as the take-no-shit-from-anyone Marshal Zhukov (referring to secret police chief Beria: "I took Germany, I think I can take a flesh lump in a waistcoat").
